I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at The Home Depot (Washington, DC) in Feb 2012
Interview
After applying online, it took about two to two and a half weeks for them to contact me. They sent a detailed email telling me that they reviewed my application and that the staffing center (in ATL, GA) would call me for a phone interview. Surprisingly, I received a call from them 10 minutes later. The woman conducting the interview was very down to earth and made it extremely easy to talk to her. As soon as the interview was over she immediately set a 1:1 interview in the store which I applied. That interview was extremely easy as well. They mainly focus on problem solving skills and customer service. By the environment of the store, I could automatically tell what they were looking for. After my interview, the interviewer took the results to his SM (store manager) and they gave me the job on the spot.
They pay based on retail experience; you don't need to know much about your required position because they put you through training once you start. I'd also advise that you be ready to go take a drug test right after. They give you 48 hours to return your results, which really means 24 hours since they count the interview date. The company overall seemed great, no problems what so ever!
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
What would you do in a situation where you were helping a customer who was really indecisive about which item to chose and the customer behind them (with a more expensive item) started to get annoyed.
It was a pretty average interview process where I was asked some personality questions. I was also asked how I handled difficult work situations in the past. The person I interviewed with was very nice. It took a couple weeks before I heard back from them with an offer.

Question 1
They asked me to tell them about a difficult situation with a customer and how I handled it.
It's an online application with a personality test, but it took a looonnnng time for them to even reach out to me. Mine specifically took over a month for someone to even reach out to me.

Question 1
It was typical questions in an interview, but also have a response to the average questions for an interviewee on google.
The interview process for the Home Depot location in Key West Florida was very laidback and easy, I ended up receiving an offer on the day of interview which was definitely a big plus.
